Tears blur the eyes and words tremble on the tongue as one recounts the horror that unfolded in Malikpura Muhallah, Toba Tek Singh. A 15-year-old girl — someone’s daughter, someone’s entire world — was brutally gang-raped by eight men over five excruciating days. The crime, more than just a violation of her body, was an unrelenting assault on her innocence, her future, and the fragile hope that someone, somewhere, would protect her.
Her mother, who trusted a woman to employ her daughter as a maid in Nawab Colony on February 28, now lives with a torment that no parent should ever have to bear. The trust was betrayed most horrifically. That woman, as alleged in the FIR, handed the girl over to monsters disguised as men. From March 3 to 8, the child was gang-raped repeatedly, her suffering recorded on video to ensure her silence through blackmail.
On March 9, when her mother finally reached her, the young girl could barely speak. But her eyes spoke volumes. She shared the unimaginable — not just the physical pain, but the betrayal, the fear, and the burden of surviving hell. Her mother learned that this wasn’t an isolated act — these predators have a system. They lure girls from poor backgrounds with the promise of jobs, only to rape and sell them like commodities in a horrifying underground trade of exploitation.
The City Police confirmed that the main accused has been arrested. The hunt for the remaining accomplices is ongoing. But for the mother, and the thousands like her, the trauma doesn’t end with an arrest. It begins there.
